Unsold

in very good restored good condition, recently repolished throughout (with mounts removed) in the vendor's workshop; the marble top is undamaged excepting typical wear and occasional minor chips to edge; the carcase and its decoration is in excellent condition, the only notable defect being a now-filled shrinkage crack running full height though the centre of the right side of the commode; the main door is not quite closing properly (may possibly be rectified by adjustment) and it is also lacking its keyhole escutcheon insert; inspection and photography of the exterior of the back is not presently possible but inspection from the interior side indicates the backboards, which are mahogany, are in sound condition.
